Direct Patient Care Rotation Goals & Objectives

Philosophy

Pharmacy residents in our program have the opportunity to develop their direct patient care (DPC) knowledge and skills in a variety of different clinical contexts and specialties. However, it is recognized that residents' DPC knowledge and skills are developed on a continuum of learning that is superimposed over all DPC rotations. Therefore, a common set of generic learning goals and objectives are utilized to form the basis for all DPC Rotation Objectives and Activities Documents (ROADs). These goals and objectives have been individually mapped to the relevant CPRB Accreditation Standards. Preceptors may choose to add to the generic learning objectives with rotation-specific learning objectives (under Goal 4 below), and include these in their rotation-specific ROAD.

Note to preceptors: It is an expectation that all DPC rotations incorporate a ROAD that is reviewed annually. The ROAD template, which incorporates the following standard goals and objectives can be found at the following link:

Demonstrate commitment to the profession, collaboration and cooperation with other healthcare workers, and an understanding of the role of the pharmacist in the interprofessional team in the improvement of medication use for patients. (CPRB 3.1.1, 3.2.2, 3.3.3)
